Like many of the songs on I Love You, frontman Jesse Rutherford’s lyrics present multi-layered stories: on one hand, he battles religious skepticism, while on the other, he muses on the path his band has taken thus far.
[Verse 1]
How could you question God's existence
When you question God himself?
Why would you ask for God's assistance
If you wouldn't take the help?
[Chorus 1]
If you're gone then I need you
If you're gone then how is any of this real?
When I'm on I believe you
When I'm not, my knees don't even seem to feel
[Chorus 2]
How could you tell me that I'm great
When they chewed me up, spit me out and pissed on me?
Why would you tell me that it's fate
When they laughed at me, every day, in my face?
[Verse 2]

When I'm on I believe you
When I'm not, my knees don't even seem to feel
[Extended Chorus 2]
How could you tell me that I'm great
When they chewed me up, spit me out, pissed on me?
Why would you tell me that it's fate
When they laughed at me, every day, in my face?
How could you tell me that I'm great
When they chewed me up, spit me out, pissed on me?
Why would you tell me that it's fate
When they laughed at me, every day, in my face?
[Outro]
How?
How could you tell me that I'm great?
How?
How could you tell me that it's fate?
How?

Jesse doesn’t just mention God in this song but in many other songs too, such as “Prey,” “Leaving Tonight” and “Too Cool For You To Know.”
He has a tattoo on his chest that reads “let go and let God,” which shows that he could be a creationist. On the other hand, though, the lyrics in his solo trac...
